Chocolate Orange

Chocolate oranges are round to oval in shape with a distinct “navel” or circular hole on the blossom stem end. The thin rind is covered in many oil glands creating a smooth, pebbled texture and ripens from green to variegated hues of green, brown, and orange when mature. Underneath the surface, the spongy, white pith is easily peeled from the flesh, and the dark orange flesh is juicy, tender, and seedless. Navel Chocolate oranges are aromatic and contain a low level of acidity, which creates a very sweet flavor.
